A series of molecular adducts of the isomeric aminobenzoic acids with the nitro-substituted Lewis bases 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine, 5-nitroquinoline and 5-nitroisoquinoline has been prepared and characterized by using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, and in four cases by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. These four compounds are the adducts of 3-aminobenzoic acid with 5-nitroquinoline [(C7H7NO2)(C9H6N2O2)], 4-aminobenzoic acid with 5-nitroquinoline [(C7H7NO2)2(C9H6N2O2)], 2-aminobenzoic acid with 5-nitroisoquinoline [(C7H7NO2)(C9H6N2O2)] and 4-aminobenzoic acid with 5-nitroisoquinoline [(C7H7N2O2)(C9H6N2O2)]. Other compounds described are the (1 : 1) adducts of 4-aminobenzoic acid with 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine, and 2-aminobenzoic acid with 5-nitroquinoline. All adducts involve hydrogen-bonding network associations while in none of the examples is any proton transfer involved.

The strength of the intermolecular (dimeric) hydrogen bond in substituted benzoic acids, as estimated from the observed concentration dependence of the ultraviolet absorption spectra, is found to vary with the nature and the position of the substituent. The effects of a number of substituents on the strength of the dimeric hydrogen bond can be rationalized in terms of the usual electronic and steric interactions. The data indicate that o-methoxybenzoic acid forms a stronger intramolecular hydrogen bond than o-fluorobenzoic acid.

The basicities of 15 ortho-substituted benzoic acids have been measured in sulphuric acid. The ortho effects of alkyl groups are base weakening and increase in the expected order methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, t-butyl. Ortho halo benzoic acids have comparable basicities and are weaker than their para isomers. Oxygen-containing ortho substituents, except hydroxyl, all cause substantial base strengthening relative to the para isomers. Even the groups nitro and carboxyl when substituted ortho in benzoic acid cause the basicity to rise, presumably because of hydrogen bonding in the conjugate acids.
